bearings, then rotate the adjustment cap
screws so the bearings evenly and lightly
touch the sides of the blade (see the illustra-

way or the other.
Note: When the blade guide bearings are
properly adjusted against the blade, they
should rotate smoothly as the blade moves.
Figure 35. Blade guide bearings evenly and
lightly touching the sides of the blade.
5. Using a hex wrench, tighten the locking cap
screws to secure the settings. To prevent
unwanted movement while tightening, use
a hex wrench to hold the adjustment cap
screws in place while re-tightening the lock-
ing cap screws. Re-check the setting after
tightening.

enables the table to be quickly returned perpen-
dicular to the blade.
To tilt the table to the left, the positive stop bolt
(see Figure 36) must be lowered, then re-adjust-
ed after the table is returned to 0°.
